Weekend Trip to The Hitch N' Post

Absolutely amazing site! Steven went above and beyond my expectations. We showed up with 4 kids between the ages of 5 and 12, and he pulled no stops entertaining them, including walking his horse down to our campsite for the kids to pet. Be sure to ask him what his record is with the ax throwing!!!😉😆 we will definitely be returning.

We had such a great time camping at The Hitching Post! Steve was a friendly, helpful host who was more than happy to answer any questions we had and made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable and that we had the best camping experience possible. He even played a few rounds of disc golf with us at the course on-site! One of the most unique and awesome things about camping here was the new 9 hole disc golf course on the property that’s open to campers. The course was the perfect mix of open fairways and wooded holes with one elevated basket, a hole with a water hazard, several holes with mandos that force strategic play, and beautiful scenery throughout-it has some small hills and varied elevations while still being cart-friendly and easy to navigate. It’s a perfect spot for beginners and veterans alike, as beginners can experience a fun round of 9 holes with neat decor and sights along the way and the avid disc golfer could easily make a day of playing this course multiple times, trying out different throws and strategies throughout. For anyone who loves the camping and disc golf combo, The Hitching Post is absolutely the perfect spot on the map. And any camper is sure to enjoy The Hitching Post’s picturesque scenery, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and perfect touches of rustic charm. There’s no doubt that this is our new go-to camping spot, and we can’t wait to go back!

I stayed in the new A-frame, which is still a work in progress. It is a lovely space! With a wood burning stove it would be very cozy. Maybe even too warm. Annie is wonderful and made the experience very pleasant.

Weekend Trip to Annie's HIDEOUT Musicians Camp

Annie’s Hideaway is more than just a campsite—it’s a rustic, down-to-earth sanctuary where every detail is crafted with Annie’s love and care. This is our third trip here, and the charm of this place, along with Annie’s personal touches, keeps us coming back. The new A-frame is both beautiful and rugged, fitting right into the camp’s hillbilly heart, and the handcrafted table feels like it was built just for cozy, casual gatherings. We spent nights right under the Little Dipper, gazing up at the stars, surrounded by the rough but wonderful charm that makes this place unique. A newly made trail invites you to wander, discovering the untouched beauty of the landscape. This weekend was all about disconnecting, so we didn’t take any pictures, but the memories are vivid and unforgettable. Annie herself is a gem, and her campground isn’t a polished retreat—it’s a real, rustic escape where you can breathe and unwind. If you’re looking for a place with soul, where you feel a little wild and wonderfully at home, Annie’s Hideaway is it.
